On May 9, 2014, bad news came to those of us who have come to appreciate the American Post-Apacalyptic television genre. NBC announced that it would not renew Revolution for a 3rd season.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of viewing Revolution, it really is an outstanding show. It came from the director of IronMan and was produced by J.J. Abrams (the guy who brought us LOST).

Revolution takes place 15 years after the start of a worldwide, permanent electrical-power blackout. All electricity on Earth was suddenly disabled at a moment’s notice. Trains and cars stopped where they were, ships went dead in the water, and aircraft fell from the sky and crashed. No cell phones, no working gasoline pumps, no running water, no grocery stores full of products, and for many people, no hope. People were forced to adapt to a world without electricity over the next fifteen years. The story (more…)

Hello Ready Center Bloggers! A friend forwarded this to me as an email quite some time ago. I recently “re-discovered” it while cleaning out my inbox. It’s short, to the point, and I felt it was worth sharing. Enjoy!

A Refresher of our Firearm Freedoms

1. “Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.” ~Thomas Jefferson

First of all, for those of you who have been with us from the beginning of this series, congratulations! Why? Because todays article marks the half way point of the series. You and your family are half way done with this years preparedness plan. And even though it’s only been $20 a paycheck, your preparedness stores are quite substantial at this point and here at The Ready Center we’re pretty darn proud of you for that. Just considering the supplies and gear that you’ve acquired thus far, you’ll be light-years ahead of where your neighbors are when disaster strikes. So, go you!

This paycheck we are recommending that you go out and spend this $20 on a few select hand tools. Specifically a multi (more…)

Yet another voice from a concerned African-American citizen who refuses stand idle while the current administration attempts to rape her (and the rest of us) of our right to self defense.

“…your freedom needs to be protected. And how do you protect freedom? Well let’s just think about the last group of people in this country who were forbidden from owning guns – that would be black people. Why? Because we were slaves. And what would happen if you gave a slave a gun? Well, they would no longer be a slave… It’s what keeps a society free, because when a government knows that it’s citizens can rise up against it – well, they’re a little less inclined to enslave it’s population. It’s why every dictator in modern history has begun with a gun ban in their country under the auspices of protection and safety. But what it did was disarm the citizenry.”

Don’t be a slave. Learn from history. Stand up for your rights. Fight for your freedom.

In light of the continued attack on our 2nd Amendment rights, we will continue to share brief, yet powerful videos that provide an African American perspective on gun control. Do don’t do this because we believe the African American voice is more valuable, more intelligent, or more appealing than any other American voice. We do this because of the valuable first hand experience to be gained from a people group who were forcefully kept unarmed by their very own government – a government that did so when the people needed protection the most.
